lazza79 Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 (edited) Hi guys, The question is simple, I am trying to make a shot of a boat with some waves: is it possible, in the OceanFX tool, to "time shift" the ocean? I'm asking because the waves I like are about 50 frames after the start of my ocean and every time i want to modify something I have to "waste" a lot of time while Houdini cooks the scene. I hope you can help me. Cheers! Lazza79 Edited September 28, 2015 by lazza79 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anim Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 there is Time Parm on Ocean Evaluate it takes time in seconds, by default $T, so to shift it by 50 frames change it to $T+50/$FPS (if you used shelf then there are 2 Ocean Evaluate nodes named ocean_preview and ocean_render, you will have to modify both) or you can as well append TimeShift SOP and in frame use $F+50 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazza79 Posted September 23, 2015 Author Share Posted September 23, 2015 (edited) Thank you very much! I tried and the ocean seems different but probably is just a feeling. I think I will set the proper time in the ocean_render node and reference the time parm in the preview, so that once I change one, the other is updated as well. Thank you again!!!
